In this episode Riley openly talks about her thoughts on The Funeral Theory.

According to Google the theory is as follows The "funeral theory" is a viral concept suggesting that at an average funeral, only about ten people truly cry, highlighting that most of our life's efforts are spent pleasing people who won't deeply mourn our absence. This theory encourages people to focus on internal validation, authenticity, and meaningful relationships, rather than external approval, by urging them to live for the few who truly matter, embrace personal goals, set boundaries, and find joy, recognizing that life is short and priorities should shift from impressing crowds to living fully for themselves and loved ones."

Riley sheds light on the fact that 2025 has been the year of the snake and shedding all old things that do not sreve you. She gives her inspurations and hopes for 2026 in hopefully using the Funeral Thoery to move forward into her next chapter.
